Real Estate Attorney serving Bloomfield Hills, MI
Not sure why they are doing this.
You need to give them a letter asking them for a writing explaining their policy to you:
Why are they holding the funds?
What is the legal basis for their actions?
What will it take to release the funds?
it might be as simple as closing the account, getting a check made to you and ex jointly and then you endorsing the money over to her. I am sure she will do what it takes to get paid.
If they still refuse, you may have to go to court against them.
the good news is their conduct may constitute conversion and the damages for that can be significant.
